American Songwriter has published a short piece celebrating three country music artists from the 1990s whose voices remain instantly recognisable today. The article reflects on what it calls a country music renaissance during the decade, highlighting performers who broke through at the time and have continued to enjoy mainstream recognition ever since.

The three artists featured are George Strait, praised for his smooth, twangy voice and prolific output of ten albums during the 1990s; Garth Brooks, described as the era's defining country star thanks to hits such as "The Dance", "The Thunder Rolls" and "Friends In Low Places"; and Trisha Yearwood, who broke out early in the decade with "She's In Love With The Boy" and released seven albums throughout the 1990s.
